Dorothy Hale (January 11, 1905 – October 21, 1938) was an American socialite and aspiring actress. She died after jumping off a building in New York City. Her husband's death, followed by several unsuccessful relationships, left her financially dependent on her wealthy friends. The artist Frida Kahlo created a famous painting based on her death, titled The Suicide of Dorothy Hale.
